Today is my husband’s birthday—and I think he deserves this in exchange for letting me say anything I want about him on this blog.
10 birthday thanks
1. You’re smart enough to believe I’m smarter than you.
2. You are unfailingly loving to my children and supportive of my relationship and theirs with my ex-husband.
3. You’re willing to eat anything I cook takeout every night. And pick it up.
4. You allow me to believe that I’m low-maintenance.
5. No matter how many body parts I’ve lost, you always make me feel sexy.
6. You are so generous you would give me anything you have—although I’m not generous enough to share chocolate with you.
7. You are the biggest fan of my blog—and everything else I do.
8. You overlook my clutter —which isn’t easy– or even possible.
9. You accept that I’m always often late—including this post which I planned to have posted this morning.
10. You know how lucky you are to be married to me.
And I do, too.
Happy Birthday V!!
After becoming a writer, artist, TV journalist, mother and breast cancer survivor----I realize nothing turns out the way we expect. So I blog about handling the big and little things — with humor, humanity, and hope.
A nice tribute to what sounds like a very nice man. I like # 10
How sweet; thank you. If you read his comment below, you can see how true YOUR comment is. PS–#10 is my favorite, too.
V is indeed those things and more. It’s been far too long since I’ve seen him. Wish him a very Happy Birthday and a Happy, Healthy New Year. Hope to see him in ’12 but only for happy occasions.

Thanks for validating my words–and my choice in husbands! I didn’t realize it’s been so long since you’ve seen him; will be sure we see you in ’12–any time we get to see you is a happy occasion for me.
Very impressive list. Seems like you are both lucky. Give him a birthday hug for me please. Thanks!
I do think we’re lucky; happy to give him an extra hug, birthday or not. xxxoo

Thank you for the sweet tribute – my all time favorite birthday present. Not sure if items 1 through 9 on your list are the gospel truth; but you got item 10 just right.
All my love and adoration, for ever and ever,

Happy Birthday, V!!!!!!!
Lolly: Thank you! So sweet hearing from you!
V: They’re all true; and much more. Glad you liked my little surprise. Now that your birthday’s over, back to real life for the next 364 days. haha
What a wonderful post! Yay for more birthdays together!
